Note the artist's conception of the apostle Paul delivering a speech at the Areopagus in Greece to Athenians in 48 A.D. (Acts 17:22-34) I added the words of Shakespeare of 1623 ("Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears.") to give it some drama and, "Friends, relatives, neighbors, lend me your ear."  More on Paul, Saul; friend or foe to Christians later.

If you arrived here, it's probably because you were given a link to this site by me or you stumbled across this on your own. Either way, WELCOME. Thank you for taking a look. If you find things herein you disagree with or object to, that's fine. I'd appreciate your feedback. You'll notice the page titles are in Greek (Koiné) and the English translation. More on this later. 

This is not meant to teach, convince, or promote anything to anyone. I'm not qualified, nor do I have authority to do so. The information herein is to simply observe, report, and consider questions on matters of faith and Christology; that is, on the nature and teachings of Jesus Christ, as revealed in scripture. The more I investigate, the more I realize I'm just scratching the surface on the depth, breadth, and mindboggling scope of scripture and tradition. This is NOT a Biblical lesson or scriptural exegesis, as if I have unique insights on these matters. This is more like the "Reader's Digest" version on the topics explored. I try to be concise and to the point the best I can based on the information I have available to me. If you have observations "facts" on these subjects, I'd appreciate sharing them with me in a spirit of education.  I'm not looking to debate or argue "my side" vs yours. As you'll notice on page 1, "Veritas", quoting St Augustine in the 4th century, truth stands on its on.

I consider this as a journey discovering "artifacts" along the way, like engaging in an archeological expedition. As we uncover "facts", I try to find ways to correlate and fit them together,. As I do so, I look to see if a picture emerges. I also realize that people interpret "facts" differently through their own eyes of understanding; some based on preconceived observations and conclusions. I try to take a scientific approach on this journey, putting my own preconditioned perspectives aside the best I can to discover new ways to look at things. Sometimes, in doing so, it feels like entering into a kind of  "twilight zone" somewhere in the midst, yet paradoxically outside, what is often referred to as conventional, orthodox, or the traditional way of looking at Christianity. But not to worry, the benchmark, central compass I use along the way is divine holy writ, "scripture".

Remember that Indiana Jones movie, 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', when professor Jones (Harrison Ford) says, "In this class we consider facts. If it's "truth" you're after, that class is down the hall."
